Comment #7 on issue 255 by [email protected]: Forking threads fails with clang 3.4
http://code.google.com/p/address-sanitizer/issues/detail?id=255

I still perfectly agree that mixing fork and threads in the general case is dangerous. However, I also still believe that my use case is perfectly valid: I use fork() as a way to take a snapshot of the memory of my database in order to be able to make a snapshot while still accepting updates in the parent process (I don't
think there is a better solution for this).
Side note: this is how process snapshotting works in Breakpad (an error reporting system used by Chromium). I don't think we want to prohibit this pattern.
